Acting Class

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Acting begins with awareness of your body, your voice, your imagination and the people around you. In this class, we explore the basics of actor training through techniques inspired by authorial acting and psychosomatic theatre. We begin with physical and vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises and movement to prepare the body for creative work. From there, we work with theatre games, improvisation, observation and simple acting tasks that help you become more present, expressive and responsive. We explore how movement influences emotion, how the voice carries meaning and how small changes in posture, rhythm or focus can transform a scene. The class is practical, playful and collaborative. There is no pressure to perform or "act well." Instead, you'll experiment, make discoveries and enjoy the creative process together with others. Whether you have always wanted to try acting or are simply looking for a new creative experience, this class offers a supportive place to begin.
